Former MLB Pitcher Esteban Loaiza Arrested With Over 44 Pounds of Heroin, Cocaine

Police arrested former All-Star pitcher Esteban Loaiza after allegedly finding an estimated $500,000 worth of suspected cocaine at a home he was leasing in Southern California. This Wednesday, Loaiza will be in court to face felony drug charges.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department said in a press release Monday morning that Loaiza was arrested as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation. "I don't know how he would get himself involved in this, so it's hard to even comment on it".

A traffic stop was conducted, and during the search, investigators found a compartment in the vehicle used to hide contraband, the release stated.

The two-time All-Star who played for eight major league teams in 14 seasons, earning more than $40 million over his baseball career, was arrested Friday in Imperial Beach.

Loaiza, 46, was charged with possessing and transporting narcotics for sale, according to sheriff's records, which indicate he had more than 20 kilos - which translates to more than 44 pounds. He finished second in AL Cy Young Award voting in 2003.
